 Former MP: Passing the oil and gas law depends on the nature of the large bloc agreements

Information/Baghdad…
Former member of the Parliamentary Oil and Energy Committee, Ghaleb Muhammad, confirmed today, Friday, that passing the oil and gas law requires consensus among the large blocs that have a majority within the House of Representatives, otherwise the law will remain in the corridors of the House like the rest of the laws that have been stalled for years.

Muhammad said in a statement to Al-Maalouma, “Passing the oil and gas law depends on the movements of the large political blocs that have a majority in the House of Representatives, since Parliament is responsible for approving laws.”

He added, “If the political blocs agree to pass the aforementioned law, they will go to Parliament and vote on it. If they do not agree, it will remain in the corridors of the Council for years, like previous laws.”
He stated that “the House of Representatives in its current session does not have the ability and will to solve the problem related to the oil and gas law in order to pass and legislate it within Parliament, as the matter depends on the large political blocs and the nature of their agreements on the law.”
